title: A simple mathematical model for manganese oxide-coated montmorillonite as a catalyst for water oxidation: from nano to macro sized manganese oxide.
abstract: Here, we propose a mathematical model that gives a good fit to the experimental data for water oxidation by Mn oxide-coated montmorillonite with different Mn content. Our data show that the water oxidation may progress by cooperation among only neighbor Mn ions on montmorillonite. It is a promising model for finding more about the mechanism of multi-electron reactions.
